Chapter 549

Li Li Banfeng broke the riddle, and Guo Gu Gaoge pondered for a moment before saying, "Actually, there are some misunderstandings between Brother Shui and me, and there are also some misunderstandings between you and me. I never intended to seize Brother Shui's land, and Brother Shui's current plight is not my..."

Before he could finish, Li Li Banfeng's figure suddenly vanished.

Guo Gu Gaoge clutched his chest, and a mouthful of blood sprayed out.

He had been hit by the "Flowers Viewed from Horseback" technique, and it was hit at the perfect moment.

Just from the two sentences he had spoken, two riddles were about to be thrown out: the first riddle, who exactly wanted to seize Shui Shui Yongquan's land; the second riddle, what exactly caused Shui Shui Yongquan's plight.

Li Li Banfeng had no intention of keeping him company to solve riddles.

Red Lotus was right: see the opportunity clearly, don't hold back; holding back will inevitably lead to losses.

The previous riddle had already been solved, Guo Gu Gaoge's combat power had been counter-suppressed, and this was the perfect opportunity.

Li Li Banfeng appeared in front of Guo Gu Gaoge again, preparing to hit him with "Flowers Viewed from Horseback" once more.

Guo Gu Gaoge leaped up and kicked toward Li Li Banfeng.

This move was high and fierce; it looked like Guo Gu Gaoge's killing blow.

Unfortunately, Guo Gu Gaoge's combat power was suppressed, and this kick didn't even touch Li Li Banfeng's shadow.

"Mouth!! Mouth!" Guo Gu Gaoge lay on the ground, stretched his neck, and called out a few times.

The sound was extremely loud and very shrill; Li Li Banfeng felt his eardrums stinging with pain.

What kind of technique is this?

Could it be that Guo Gu Gaoge isn't just a Riddle Cultivator, but also a Sound Cultivator?

Guo Gu Gaoge got on all fours, leaped up again, and fiercely rushed toward Li Li Banfeng.

Li Li Banfeng wanted to use "Trampling Wan Chuan" to meet the attack, but the kick didn't land; instead, Guo Gu Gaoge beat him to it, kicking toward Li Li Banfeng's chest.

Li Li Banfeng raised his arms to parry, but was still kicked back more than a yard.

Strange, how could I suffer a loss against him? And to suffer a loss in speed, too?

How did Guo Gu Gaoge's speed become so fast?

While pondering, Guo Gu Gaoge rushed to his front again.

Li Li Banfeng still wanted to use "Trampling Wan Chuan," but Guo Gu Gaoge beat him to it again, slamming his head into Li Li Banfeng's chest.

Helpless, Li Li Banfeng parried again and was knocked back far away.

Having been hit twice in succession, if not for his robust Residential Cultivator physique, Li Li Banfeng would surely have been seriously injured.

Being beaten to the first move twice wasn't just because Guo Gu Gaoge was fast; Li Li Banfeng realized his own speed had slowed down.

It wasn't just that his speed had slowed; his techniques weren't working either. Previously, "Trampling Wan Chuan" would come whenever he wanted, but today it just couldn't keep up with the rhythm.

Is this the influence of the Sound Cultivator technique?

Guo Gu Gaoge used all four limbs, leaping back and forth on the ground, his mouth making constant "..." sounds.

Is he both a Riddle Cultivator and a Sound Cultivator?

Looking at his movement style, it's very much like a child's, and "child" is close to his name—could he also be a Body Cultivator?

A total of three paths: Riddle Cultivator, Sound Cultivator, Body Cultivator.

This person actually carries three paths on him, just like Li Li Banfeng!

While circling, Guo Gu Gaoge came to his front again, and Li Li Banfeng finally managed to use "Trampling Wan Chuan."

Crack!

He stepped on a stone, shattering it; a piece of debris hit Guo Gu Gaoge's face, leaving a bloody scratch.

Just this much power?

Guo Gu Gaoge's Sound Cultivator technique has too great an influence!

Guo Gu Gaoge opened his arms, his fingertips like sharp blades, stabbing at Li Li Banfeng's head from both left and right.

Li Li Banfeng barely dodged; Guo Gu Gaoge's fingertips stabbed toward Li Li Banfeng's throat. Li Li Banfeng dodged with a step, and Guo Gu Gaoge's fingertips stabbed toward Li Li Banfeng's chest.

He couldn't dodge this one, so Li Li Banfeng used "Residential Heart, Benevolent and Thick" to take it head-on.

The fingertips didn't pierce through; Guo Gu Gaoge thought Li Li Banfeng was wearing armor and grabbed toward the top of Li Li Banfeng's head again.

Turning his ten fingers into sharp blades, his moves were swift, like flowing clouds and water, his offensive was fluid, fierce, and clever.

Could he also be a Martial Cultivator?

Is it possible for one person to cultivate four paths?

Li Li Banfeng's speed was getting slower and slower; he couldn't open up distance from Guo Gu Gaoge. In this situation, he had to consider more Residential Cultivator techniques.

First, use "Deep Residence and Large Courtyard" to break his Sound Cultivator technique.

Li Li Banfeng opened his mouth, but couldn't make a sound for a long time; he couldn't borrow the technique from his wife.

This situation is too rare!

He wanted to use the "Closing Doors and Shutting Windows" technique to create a halo, but Guo Gu Gaoge's attacks were too fast; Li Li Banfeng was exhausted from parrying and didn't even have the chance to spill blood.

He wanted to use the "Form and Shadow Mourning Each Other" technique to release his shadow.

As a result, he tried several times, but the shadow couldn't come out at all.

Li Li Banfeng was passive everywhere, barely circling with Guo Gu Gaoge by relying on his remaining speed foundation.

In the wooden hut, the stagehand stepped on his cigarette to extinguish it and sighed: "A grandson is a grandson; even if he changes his routine, he's still a grandson. Why can't you see through it?"

Wild Boar walked over and asked the stagehand: "What are you muttering about? Who are you calling a grandson?"

The stagehand ignored Wild Boar and gazed into the distance.

"Mouth!"

Li Li Banfeng heard the child's cry again; it made his brain ache and his heart restless.

This Sound Cultivator technique is too fierce; could Guo Gu Gaoge's Sound Cultivation be even higher than his Riddle Cultivation?

Looking at how fierce his combat is, could his Wu Xiu also have reached the "Above the Clouds" realm?

Could it be that he...

Wait, what am I doing?

Am I guessing riddles?

Li Li Banfeng finally realized one thing: he had been hit by a Riddle Cultivator technique.

A Foolish Cultivator can fool others without speaking, and a Riddle Cultivator can also make the opponent enter a riddle without speaking.

During the fight, Li Li Banfeng had been thinking about Guo Gu Gaoge's paths and cultivation; this was equivalent to guessing riddles. Even if he didn't say it out loud, the Riddle Cultivator's technique had already taken effect.

Judging from the current situation, Li Li Banfeng had clearly guessed wrong; his combat power had been greatly suppressed, Guo Gu Gaoge's combat power had fully increased, and a huge gap had appeared between their combat powers.

How to regain this gap?

Guess again—is there still time?

If it's a binary choice riddle, guessing wrong once and then guessing again probably won't count.

The key is that there isn't just one binary choice riddle: Is he a Sound Cultivator? Is he a Martial Cultivator? Is he a Body Cultivator?

Li Li Banfeng didn't know which one was wrong and which one was right. He had already guessed wrong many times before; if he guessed wrong again, his combat power might be whittled away to nothing.

He couldn't be wrong; he couldn't be wrong from the start; he had to be right from the start.

"Li Qi, what are you thinking about? It's useless to think anymore; you were wrong, wrong so outrageously!" Guo Gu Gaoge grabbed at Li Li Banfeng. Li Li Banfeng dodged, and a large tree behind him, which would take two people to embrace, was snapped in half by Guo Gu Gaoge's grab.

Li Li Banfeng shouted: "Ten fingers turned into sharp blades—you really are a Martial Cultivator!"

Guo Gu Gaoge laughed: "I said you were outrageously wrong; wait to die!"

Sure enough, this was indeed a riddle Guo Gu Gaoge had prepared in advance.

Li Li Banfeng dodged while shouting: "Learning martial arts is cultivation, and having a body full of martial arts is cultivation base. Is there anything wrong with calling you a Martial Cultivator? I didn't say what level of Martial Cultivator you were!"

"What nonsense are you talking—" Guo Gu Gaoge reached out, but suddenly felt his arm lose strength.

What's the situation?

Was the riddle broken?

Guo Gu Gaoge isn't a Martial Cultivator; Li Li Banfeng didn't guess right, so how could the riddle be broken?

Learning martial arts is cultivation, and having a body full of martial arts is cultivation base—this kind of talk is too far-fetched. Could this also count as solving the riddle?

But thinking about it carefully, what he said also made some sense...

Guo Gu Gaoge's speed slowly slowed down, and Li Li Banfeng's speed rose back up.

Guo Gu Gaoge didn't dare to delay, wanting to end the battle quickly. Li Li Banfeng shouted again: "You are a Sound Cultivator!"

Guo Gu Gaoge directly denied it: "I am not a Sound Cultivator!"

"Sound Cultivators conquer enemies with sound; anyone who uses sound to conquer enemies is a Sound Cultivator."

"What kind of logic is that?" Guo Gu Gaoge didn't want to admit it, because Li Li Banfeng's deduction was truly absurd. Why should anyone who uses sound to conquer enemies be a Sound Cultivator?

But denying it with his mouth was useless; he admitted it in his heart. His brain wasn't working fast enough for a moment, and he couldn't find the flaw in Li Li Banfeng's logic.

No flaws—even if it was reasonable and well-founded, this proved that Li Li Banfeng had guessed right from the start.

The riddle was broken again, and Guo Gu Gaoge felt a moment of dizziness.

Boom!

Li Li Banfeng's "Trampling Wan Chuan" was successfully activated.

Under the dust, Guo Gu Gaoge was injured. Seeing that Li Li Banfeng wasn't withdrawing his move quickly, he endured the severe pain and grabbed at Li Li Banfeng's crown.

This grab hit empty air; Li Li Banfeng used "Carefree and Content" to avoid it.

His speed was still a bit lacking, but his techniques had basically recovered. Li Li Banfeng chatted while fighting Guo Gu Gaoge: "You say your fighting style is a bit particular, isn't it? Leaping and jumping, using claws to hurt people—is this called 'Child Fist'? You should be a child, right?"

Guo Gu Gaoge had no time to speak. His fighting style was indeed particular; he deliberately imitated a child to make his opponent misunderstand and think he was a Body Cultivator. In reality, this was part of the riddle, intended to make his opponent fall for it.

But Li Li Banfeng didn't think so: "You play this 'Child Fist' so smoothly; you must have talent. You are a Body Cultivator, and your original form is a child. I didn't guess wrong, did I?"

Body Cultivator?

And original form is a child?

This is all absurd.

Guo Gu Gaoge leaped high and slashed down with his sharp claws: "I am not a Body Cultivator; stop guessing blindly!"

This was even more absurd; even Guo Gu Gaoge himself felt it was absurd. Did this kind of thing need to be explained to Li Li Banfeng?

Actually, this wasn't to explain to Li Li Banfeng; it was a reminder to himself. He had to emphasize that he really wasn't a Body Cultivator.

He didn't know what technique he had been hit by; whatever Li Qi said, it became true for him. He had to make himself sober up as soon as possible.

"Body Cultivators don't have introductory medicinal powders. You have good talent; you entered the path yourself without even knowing it. Look at yourself, brushed with a layer of green paint, just like a living child. Grasp this talent, and you will have great achievements in the future."

The more Li Li Banfeng spoke, the more Guo Gu Gaoge's movements resembled a child's, and his movement techniques became more and more proficient, but his combat power became increasingly inadequate.

Originally, Li Li Banfeng had guessed the riddle wrong, and he had guessed wrong three times in a row, but he had stubbornly turned the wrong into the right. This was equivalent to breaking the riddle three times in a row.

Guo Gu Gaoge fought with less and less strength, and Li Li Banfeng quickly recovered to his original state, his combat power even increasing quite a bit.

In the small wooden hut, the stagehand looked into the distance; there was no more movement on the battlefield.

He turned to Wild Boar and said: "Let's start work."

Wild Boar shook his head: "Seventh Brother hasn't given the word; who dares to start work? Let's wait a bit."

The stagehand smiled, looked into the distance, and whispered: "These bird-men Riddle Cultivators only have this much ability. If they fought a little longer, I'd be embarrassed for you."

In the Personal Residence, Li Li Banfeng looked at Guo Gu Gaoge with a dark face: "Where did Shui Shui Yongquan go?"

Guo Gu Gaoge gritted his teeth and said: "Guess!"

A puff of steam scalded Guo Gu Gaoge until he screamed repeatedly. The record player laughed: "Death is at hand, and you still dare to use techniques. Xue Yingying, go sharpen the knife; today, meal after meal, there's endless good food to eat."

"You guys eat," Xiang Xiang Hongying looked at her waist in the mirror, "If I get too fat, Seventh Brother won't like me anymore."

The record player laughed: "Eat without worry; grow the meat in the right places, and your husband will love it to death."

"Really?" Xiang Xiang Hongying looked at Guo Gu Gaoge carefully, pondering cooking methods and techniques.

In terror, Guo Gu Gaoge didn't dare to tell any more riddles and intermittently told the truth: "My real name isn't Guo Gu Gaoge; I'm called Guo Erning. The name Guo Gu Gaoge is just a riddle."

Hearing the name Guo Gu Gaoge always makes people think he is a Sound Cultivator.

Guo Gu Gaoge continued: "I really didn't want to kill Shui Shui Yongquan; I only wanted his territory.

Shui Shui Yongquan agreed to give me the territory; he really agreed, and handed over the Iron Certificate and the Land Head Seal to me.

I even specially arranged a place for him to stay so he could recover from his injuries."

Li Li Banfeng frowned: "Did you specially arrange a place for him to stay, or did you lock him up?"

Guo Gu Gaoge whispered: "I didn't originally want to lock him up; I was afraid he would go to Seven Autumn City and summon Autumn Fallen Leaves."

Now Li Li Banfeng knew what Shui Shui Yongquan had experienced.

The Inner State launched a curse technique, abolishing his cultivation base, and Guo Gu Gaoge took advantage of the situation to force him to give up his territory.

Shui Shui Yongquan was forced to hand over his territory, and as a result, he was imprisoned by Guo Gu Gaoge.

Li Li Banfeng asked: "Even if you locked Shui Shui Yongquan up, you still weren't at ease, so you killed him anyway?"

Guo Gu Gaoge shook his head: "I really didn't want to kill him, but the Inner State wanted his identity. They sent Lord Ni Ni Shangqiu to disguise himself as Shui Shui Yongquan. Ni Ni Shangqiu was afraid of revealing flaws, so he told me to kill the real Shui Shui Yongquan."

The record player said: "Did you kill him or not?"

Guo Gu Gaoge was muddled and didn't want to speak.

Xiang Xiang Hongying held a knife and said: "Zhao Xiao Wan, you're right; eating meat grows meat. Let's eat meat first, then grow the meat where Seventh Brother likes it."

She sliced Guo Gu Gaoge a dozen times, and Guo Gu Gaoge couldn't hold out anymore: "I told Lord Ni Ni Shangqiu that I killed him, but actually I didn't."

Xiang Xiang Hongying stroked the blade: "You let him go? Can you have such a kind heart?"

"I didn't let him go, but someone snatched him away."

Li Li Banfeng asked: "What kind of person?"

"The Land Head God of Sleepless Town, Wang Wang Zimian."

Sleepless Town?

Li Li Banfeng had heard Ma Wu mention this place; it was the first third of the land, but Li Li Banfeng didn't quite know what kind of territory it was.

"What kind of person is Wang Wang Zimian?"

Guo Gu Gaoge said: "I'm not too familiar with him, only that this person has a great reputation and high prestige. He wanted to take Shui Shui Yongquan away, and I didn't dare not to agree."

Li Li Banfeng smoothed his brow and patted Guo Gu Gaoge: "Seeing how difficult it was for you to speak, you gave me a big scare.

In other words, Shui Shui Yongquan is still alive?"

"Alive." Guo Gu Gaoge nodded.

Li Li Banfeng laughed: "If you had told the truth earlier, you wouldn't have had to suffer so much."

Guo Gu Gaoge said: "When you go out, you absolutely cannot say this. If Lord Ni Ni Shangqiu finds out, he definitely won't spare me."

Li Li Banfeng waved his hand: "No need to worry, Ni Ni Shangqiu is in my house. When you meet later, you can discuss this matter slowly."

Guo Gu Gaoge shivered: "Lord Ni is here? What should be done? What if he finds out?"

Seeing Guo Gu Gaoge looking pitiful, the record player also advised: "No need to be afraid; you really don't need to be afraid of this matter. Lord Ni definitely won't blame you."

Li Li Banfeng asked Guo Gu Gaoge: "First tell me, where is Shui Shui Yongquan's contract buried?"

Guo Gu Gaoge didn't really want to say; this was the territory he had snatched with great difficulty.

Li Li Banfeng frowned: "If you don't say it now, it will be too late when you see Lord Ni later."

What does that mean?

Why does it sound like Li Qi and Lord Ni have some dealings?

Could it be that Li Qi has also defected to the Inner State?

Although he was still not quite reconciled to the matter of the territory, in order to save his life, Guo Gu Gaoge told Li Qi the location of the contract.

Li Qi went out, and Guo Gu Gaoge also wanted to leave, but couldn't open the door of the Personal Residence.

Guo Gu Gaoge cried: "I've already told the truth, why won't you let me go?"

The record player spat out steam: "Don't be afraid, I'll take you to see Lord Ni."

Li Qi dug out Shui Shui Yongquan's contract in the Hundred Vine Valley. Li Li Banfeng was familiar with this place; back then, in order to earn a Melody Flower from Shui Shui Yongquan, Li Qi and Autumn Fallen Leaves had fought in the valley and almost lost their lives.

Afterward, Shui Shui Yongquan didn't break his promise and gave the Melody Flower to Li Li Banfeng, and also gave the ten-mile territory to Li Li Banfeng. Relying on this ten-mile territory, Li Qi and Ma Wu pulled together the Proper Village.

Thinking of these things, it seems like they are all right before his eyes, but now Shui Shui Yongquan has reached this point.

Li Li Banfeng took the Green Water Bow's bowl, found a dark-dimensional space in Shui Shui Yongquan's territory, and buried Shui Shui Yongquan's contract.

Having become a Wound Demon Sha, logically speaking, his cultivation base wouldn't change anymore; in other words, Shui Shui Yongquan could never be a Land Head God again.

But it is rumored that some strange techniques might bring a turning point. Gao Gao Shuxia is an example; although she became a Wound Demon Sha, she has been searching for territory and is still striving for a position for herself, which proves she still has means for promotion.

Regardless, he must first bring Shui Shui Yongquan back. It's hard to say if he can recover, but Guo Gu Gaoge and Ni Ni Shangqiu are both dead, and it's estimated that the Inner State will soon come knocking, so he must make preparations early.

Li Li Banfeng instructed the mother and daughter to let the crew start work, and also let Swallow restore order in the village as soon as possible.

Wild Boar was a bit surprised: "Who said to start work just now? It really started today. Where did that stagehand go? Where is the stagehand who was standing at the door just now?"

The stagehand head said from the side: "Pig Brother, our stagehands are all here, not one is missing."

Wild Boar looked at them one by one; these people were not the stagehand from just now.

"Is that person a newcomer?"

The stagehand head shook his head: "There are no new stagehands today."

Wild Boar felt that the person didn't look like a newcomer either; it seemed like he had known him before, but he couldn't remember the person's name no matter what.

Li Qi returned to Chu Er's New Land and called Ma Wu: "Brother Shui has met with an accident; his position and cultivation base are both lost,

and his territory has been snatched away." After hearing Li Qi's description, Ma Wu was shocked and turned to Feng Daiku: "Miss Feng, I have a request."

Feng Daiku thought they were going to snatch the territory and planned to first probe the opponent's strength.

Li Qi shook his head: "I've already snatched the territory back. Now I plan to bring the person back. Shui Shui Yongquan is currently in Wang Wang Zimian's hands. I wonder if Miss Feng is familiar with this person?"

Upon hearing that Li Li Banfeng had snatched the territory back, Ma Wu was shocked; this meant Li Qi had defeated a Land Head God.

The two had entered the path on the same day, and when they were in Blue Poplar Village, there wasn't such a big gap. In less than three years, Li Qi could actually defeat a Land Head God?

Of course, it's also possible Li Qi found help. Everyone says he is familiar with the Peddler; it must have been the Peddler who helped.

Feng Daiku wasn't very surprised; she had long known Li Qi wasn't an ordinary person: "Young Master Li, is the Wang Wang Zimian you speak of the Land Head God of Sleepless Town?"

Li Li Banfeng nodded.

Feng Daiku said: "This person has a very high reputation among Land Head Gods, but I don't have much interaction with him, perhaps because he looks down on the Pants Belt Ridge; he has always been somewhat dismissive of me."

Li Li Banfeng said: "Then I won't make things difficult for Miss Feng; I'll think of another way."

Feng Daiku shook her head: "It can't be called difficult. I'm not that pretentious. He saved Shui Shui Yongquan in a time of crisis, which shows his integrity and righteousness. Having such a good reputation is well-deserved.

I have met him and know where he lives. I will help introduce the two of you, which can also help you save a lot of trouble."

Feng Daiku took the two of them to walk through the New Land and went to Sleepless Town.

On the way, Li Li Banfeng asked Ma Wu: "Do you not need to sleep when you arrive in Sleepless Town?"

The first third of the land has a special territory, just like the Sea-Eating Ridge and the Pants Belt Ridge, which will have some influence on people.

Ma Wu said: "It's not that they don't sleep at all; it's just that the people there sleep less, only sleeping two or three hours a day." "Then this place must be very lively at night. If you open a dance hall, I guess you could make a big profit."

Ma Wu shook his head: "You can't open a dance hall there; the people there don't like this, and I don't want to do business there either. That place makes me uncomfortable."

"How is it uncomfortable?"

"I can't say. You'll know when you go. I just feel that business shouldn't be done this way, and people shouldn't live this way."

Feng Daiku was familiar with the road and had a Traveling Cultivator magic treasure on her. The three of them took less than a day to arrive in Sleepless Town.

This town was about the same size as Medicine King Ditch, and factories stood in great numbers in the town, giving Li Li Banfeng the illusion that he had arrived at Black Stone Slope.

No, this was still a bit different from Black Stone Slope.

Li Li Banfeng looked at his pocket watch; it was 2:30 AM, but the large and small factories were brightly lit, smoke was rolling, people were moving, and the roar of machinery was endless.

This place was indeed lively, but it was a bit different from the liveliness Li Li Banfeng had imagined.

A man with graying hair was sleeping on the side of the street; in such a noisy environment, he was sleeping very soundly and sweetly.

He was holding blueprints in his hands and wearing work clothes. The night wind blew, and he shrank on the side of the road, shivering from time to time, but he never woke up.

A woman, wearing the same style of work clothes and thick glasses, came to the man's side and pushed him awake with force.

"Little Liu, why are you sleeping here?"

The gray-haired man rubbed his eyes, looked at the woman, and said: "I'm a bit tired and wanted to sit on the side of the road for a while. I didn't expect to fall asleep just like that."

The woman was a bit disappointed and shook her head: "Little Liu, you can't be like this. Hundreds of people in the factory are all looking at you.

When I recommended you to enter the factory, it was because I valued your spirit of being able to endure hardship and not admit defeat. Our factory just received a few big orders; how many people haven't closed their eyes for half a month? Have you seen any of them complain?

You're telling me you're tired now? If others hear it, what will they say about you? And what will they say about me? What kind of person did I recommend to come in? Three silver dollars a month—go ask if there's any other place that can give so much wages?"

The man lowered his head and said: "Sister, I've disgraced you; I've let you down."

The woman shook her head: "You haven't let me down; you've let yourself down! If you don't work hard when you're young, you'll have nothing when you're old, and it will be too late to regret it.

Hurry up and send the blueprints. We'll listen to any modification suggestions. If it can be modified on-site, modify it immediately. If it really can't be modified, come back and discuss it slowly. You have to let people see our boldness in doing things!"

The man nodded repeatedly and ran to send the blueprints.

Li Li Banfeng watched from the side of the street. The two people talking just now didn't notice Li Li Banfeng, nor could they see Feng Daiku. Feng Daiku also used special means to cover Ma Wu.

"Young Master Li, we are here to find the Land Head God; let's not watch this excitement." Feng Daiku urged.

Li Li Banfeng was a bit curious: "The man just now, looking at his face, he's at least fifty years old, yet that woman still calls him Little Liu, which proves she's even older. To look so young at such an age, I guess her cultivation base isn't low."

Ma Wu shook his head: "This is where you've misjudged. Old Seven, that man isn't fifty-something. If I'm not mistaken, he should be in his early twenties."

Li Li Banfeng was shocked: "In his early twenties and looks like this?"

Ma Wu sighed: "That's why I said I don't want to do business here. Business isn't done this way, and people shouldn't live this way."

Feng Daiku reminded him: "Fifth Brother, when you see the Land Head God later, don't speak recklessly. Wang Wang Zimian already values etiquette, and plus he is a person from Snowflake Pier, so he has a bit of arrogance. Be sure not to offend him in your words."

Ma Wu nodded, his expression somewhat displeased.

He really didn't like this place, but for the sake of Shui Shui Yongquan, he had to make the trip no matter what.

"Old Seven, you also be more careful. Let's try to speak as little as possible later—" Ma Wu turned his head and found Li Qi had stopped his steps.

Feng Daiku said: "Young Master Li, this is..."

Li Li Banfeng said: "You just said Wang Wang Zimian is a person from Snowflake Pier?"

Feng Daiku nodded: "I don't think I need to say much about the status of Snowflake Pier in Puluo Continent."

Li Li Banfeng asked: "What path is Wang Wang Zimian?"

Feng Daiku said: "He is a Diligence Cultivator."

"What is a Diligence Cultivator?" Li Li Banfeng had never heard of this path.

Ma Wu said: "The woman just now was a Diligence Cultivator. Look at how pleasant her speech was."

Feng Daiku frowned: "Fifth Brother, I just urged you to pay attention to your words here. Diligence Cultivator is a good path that persuades people to be diligent and make progress. Sleepless Town is full of Wang Wang Zimian's disciples; be sure to pay attention to your words."

Li Qi didn't ask any more questions and followed Feng Daiku to the center of the town, in front of a large mansion.

This mansion was not small; the main residence was a five-story western-style building, with a three-story auxiliary building on each side. Behind the main residence was a garden, and in the garden were a dozen large and small western-style houses. This mansion was even more luxurious than the large mansions of the He and Lu families.

Feng Daiku didn't enter directly. With her status, she actually had to let the gatekeeper report first: "Feng Daiku from the Soda Kiln, bringing two friends, Li Qi and Ma Wu, to request an audience with the senior Wang."

The gatekeeper went to pass the message.

Logically speaking, one shouldn't visit at this time, but in Sleepless Town, the concept of time is a bit different; 2:00 or 3:00 AM is not considered too late.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the gatekeeper came out and led the three into the main hall.

Wang Wang Zimian was sitting in the main hall, wearing a white suit, with long hair neatly combed back, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a handlebar mustache. Looking at his face, he was a civilized gentleman in his forties.

After the pleasantries, the host and guests took their seats. Wang Wang Zimian said: "Miss Feng, what is the matter with you visiting late at night?"

Feng Daiku answered humbly: "Visiting late at night is to introduce two friends to you, sir."

She briefly introduced Li Qi and Ma Wu. Wang Wang Zimian looked at Li Qi and said: "You are Li Qi?"

Li Li Banfeng nodded slightly.

Wang Wang Zimian lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and said: "I've heard your name. You are young and promising, indeed worthy of praise, but don't be complacent because of your current achievements and waste your good time."

Li Li Banfeng said: "I came to find you to ask about Shui Shui Yongquan."

Feng Daiku was startled and looked at Li Qi.

His way of speaking was a bit too direct.

Ma Wu wasn't surprised; Old Seven had always spoken like this to people like Wang Wang Zimian.

Li Li Banfeng continued: "I heard from Guo Gu Gaoge that you saved Shui Shui Yongquan. I am deeply grateful for this and will definitely have a generous gift to thank you in the future.

Today I want to take Shui Shui Yongquan back; I hope Boss Wang will make it convenient."

Boss Wang?

Feng Daiku felt a chill in her heart again. In her opinion, this form of address was inappropriate.

Wang Wang Zimian's expression wasn't very good either. He tapped the cigarette ash and nodded: "I did save Shui Shui Yongquan, but he is not here now; he went to the Outer State."

Outer State?

Feng Daiku and Ma Wu were both very surprised, but Li Li Banfeng was unusually calm.

"What did he go to the Outer State for?" Li Qi asked.

"He was disheartened by Puluo Continent and wanted to travel to the Outer State to vent his depression."

Li Li Banfeng said: "Boss Wang, is this true?"

"Whether it's true or not, you can ponder it yourself," Wang Wang Zimian extinguished the cigarette. "What an arrogant young man. Did you come here to ask about something, or to bring charges?"

"Both are fine," Li Li Banfeng took out a cigarette and lit it himself. "That depends on whether you saved Shui Shui Yongquan, or sold Shui Shui Yongquan."
